1. Could you kindly advise on the total number of questions that will be asked for this event?

2. If the participants have back-to-back events and would like to finish the test earlier, can they finish the entire test including specimen identification a few minutes ahead of time or do they have to follow a specific time sequence for this event?

Answer:There
are 30-40 questions. Some very short (true/ false, etc) and some with
multiple parts (matching, fill in the blank, short answer). There are
also some bonus questions for tie breakers.

If they work fast they may finish early. We are not using timed station

In
what format should the kids give their average velocity calculation
answer, ie do they need to reduce the fraction or convert it to a
decimal or whole number if appropriate?

Answer:

We expect that the students
give their average velocity calculation answer in decimal form as they
will be provided calculators. However, we will not take off points from
answers given in fraction form.
